As usual, unless the oral surgeon suggests otherwise.
Actually, you sleep the same way you did prior to getting it wired. Most patients sleep on their back slightly propped up with one or two pillows. Realistically, there is no change except when there is a cut or laceration outside of the mouth, then most patients lay on the opposite side.
